Introduction

The 10-GE transponder module is double the size of the 2.5-Gbps transponder module and requires a special 10-Gbps line card motherboard. You can install up to two 10-GE transponder modules in a 10-Gbps line card motherboard. Each transponder supports one client side and one trunk side interface. The client side is a short-reach 1310-nm interface and the trunk side interface is an ITU grid compliant 15xx-nm long-reach interface. The 10-GE transponder module is available in 32 versions, one for each of the 32 ITU channels it supports.

The 10-GE transponder module is not protocol independent; it supports the 802.ae specification for 10GBASE-LR interfaces.

CSCdz80042

Symptom: The show interfaces waveethernetphy command output may show a high receive power level on the trunk even when there is no input signal or cable connected to the card. This is only seen with 10-GE transponder modules with functional image version 2.13 and hardware versions 2.0-99, 3.0-99, or 4.0-99.

Workaround: Upgrade the 10-GE transponder module functional image to version 2.14 or later.

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool automatically provides recommended solutions.

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
